Sea level changes at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

F2-layer parameters long-term trends at the Argentine Islands and Port Stanley stations

The ionospheric sounding data at two southern hemisphere stations, the Argentine Islands and Port Stanley, are analyzed using a method previously developed by the authors. Negative trends of the critical frequency foF2 are found for both stations. The magnitudes of the trends are close to those at the corresponding (close geomagnetic latitude) stations of the northern hemisphere, as considered ...

Monitoring coastline changes in Amirabad Port by surveying coastline and sea level

The process of erosion and desertification affects social communities, agricultural lands and natural resources in coastal areas. The rapid coastline changes would cause social and economic issues in the coastal areas. In this study, Miankaleh coasts and the eastern coastlines of Amirabad port have been surveyed due to existing benchmarks since June 2013 until December 2015 in order to analyze ...

Sea-level rise at tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean islands

Historical and projected sea-levels for islands in the tropical Pacific and Indian oceans are a subject of considerable interest and some controversy. The large variability (e.g. El Niño) signals and the shortness of many of the individual tide-gauge records contribute to uncertainty of historical rates of sea-level rise. Here, we determine rates of sea-level rise from tide gauges in the region...

Resuscitation experience in the Falkland Islands campaign.

The recent campaign to retake the Falkland Islands was a novel military exercise from many points of view. This was particularly so for the medical support, which required much improvisation at all levels. Several surgical teams from the Royal Navy and the Royal Army Medical Corps were deployed in support of both the fleet and the troops on land. Two Royal Naval teams embarked in SS Canberra, a...
